I've heard a lot of talk about Europa Universalis 2 (which unfortunately I don't have), but does anyone other than me still have the original game?

Yes, I do. I don't play it anymore because it is obsolete. Unlike civ3 versus civ2, where the latter has some stuff better than the former :D

I have the game, but I've never gotten into it to be honest. It never grabbed me like Civ did and quickly got relegated to my CD-Rack never to be seen again in favour of other games I'd just got then (Mafia...).
